i used to love visiting computer labs and internet cafe's because people would always put games on them by carrying floppy disks around with the games one them.

"line wars" is the one that i saw the most often and i loved fucking with the game's AI

i was introduced to porn through a floppy disk that i found on the ground at one of the laboratories too. lol

Were I lived there were also often computer markets on the weekend where one could buy new and used computer parts and software. There was also a lot of shareware shown in demo mode and I loved looking at the more violent games by id and apogee.

those old "violent" games feel so quaint now compared to today's media. lol
